1
Whisk the Eggs
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until it’s well combined and frothy.
2
Chop the Chives
Finely chop the fresh chives and set aside for garnishing the omelet later.

3
Heat the Pan
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble but not brown.
4
Pour the Egg Mixture
Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to distribute the eggs evenly across the surface.
5
Cook the Omelet
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set. You can gently lift the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
6
Add the Cheese
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over half of the omelet.
7
Fold the Omelet
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half over the cheese. Cook for another minute until the cheese melts.
8
Serve
Slide the omelet onto a plate, sprinkle with chopped chives, and serve immediately.
